A straw man argument away from your original point- that Kofi just plays bully ball and dominates against smaller, inferior opponents. He’s had really good games against 2 of the top 5 bigs in the conference so far this season.
9 and 8 is a really good game? It you're talking about a really good big man, that you want to run offense through....that doesn't cut it.
You want a more direct comment? He's soft with the ball, he doesn't go up strong, he doesn't play through contact and he doesn't finish close to the rim. I saw him get stuffed once already and get it knocked around because he brings the ball down....same scenario against Missouri.
If you want to run offense through your center in this league....18 and 9 needs to be the EXPECTATION. If he gives them that, this is a 10 win Big Ten team because they can run offense through him.... allowing for more inside/outside action.
9 and 8 on 4 of 7 shooting vs Maryland is not "a really good game". It's a sound game and a contribution vs a really good game and a game changer.
